I am a compulsive eater and spender. This fluctuates with my mood. It's also more related to when I'm happier rather than when I'm tired and down. I can be a little bit manic and find this is my worst time.
Last night i couldn't sleep as was worrying about money. We have some debt (about £2.5k) which i could address relatively quickly if i just didn't spend but I make rash, compulsive decisions.
I have definitely got better as I get older I just wish I could regulate myself consistently. I am the same with food as with money. I was bulimic for 14 years and whilst I no longer am I still have compulsive behaviours around food which again seem to be worse if I'm a bit hyper as I just don't seem to be able to rationalise.
If you have managed to solve anything like this how did you do it?
